Warriors2012 3 - 2 curia (367708522)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 7691 at Golden State Warriors today. Sandro González was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Benet Pineda and Hortencio Carranza. Warriors2012 started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Clausi - García Peñuela, Rigolli, Kuzmanov - Garagarberáiz, Vâlcu, Urzicã, Belge, Queirós - Jebli, Rados.

curia tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Deschamps - Saura González, Doña, Sensarrich, Arestizabal - Sánchez, do Bolo, Martínez Sancho, Mauleón - Eiriz, Castrelo.

Warriors2012 were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of curia. Some great play up the middle by Warriors2012 led to a chance for A. Rados to score after 20 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 21 minutes into the game, C. Mauleón finished off a curia left wing counterattack, making the score 0 - 1. 23 minutes in, and Warriors2012 were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when G. Belge picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. Warriors2012 had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. 26 minutes into the match and the home team took a 2 - 1 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Warriors2012 was A. Rados. 36 minutes in, Warriors2012's M. Queirós received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for curia, A. Sánchez was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. J. Serrano replaced him. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Warriors2012 had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

A late sliding challenge from M. Queirós was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and Warriors2012 left a man down. After 62 minutes, curia sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Saura González, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 2. After 64 minutes, A. Rados came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 3 - 2, giving Warriors2012 the lead. 68 minutes into the match, V. Urzicã could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Warriors2012, with 59 percent of the ball.

Warriors2012's best player was M. Jebli. P. Clausi was a disappointment, however. E. do Bolo performed admirably for curia. J. Serrano turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
